I needed a quirky Solution that was hard to find, and was going to be expensive at most Business Parks. The Team at Rivo worked through my needs to get me sorted for a reasonable Cost. Close to home , Affordable and a great community of Tenants all doing extraordinary projects, always a good story to hear. I can see I will be there for a long while, with such a professional team with a smile, why not.
Our company was looking to expand in a region that had good growth potential, being located in Girraween then Seven hills many years, we located in what was becoming expensive an unmanageable and skyrocketing squared metered rental rates, consuming a decent amount of profit from our business. So we looked to the Northwest region, knowing this would provide the growth potential area we were looking for. While considering our options to either purchase or rent, we made contact with Riverstone Business Park to inquire about their availability of yard pace to lease and amenities they had to offer. After meeting with Mike Shervington and the Business park administrative team, we were sold. The available areas to lease where ranging in size to accommodate our needs and future expansion, Mike created options for us to have a powered site, fitted with containers and container shelters, and was more than accommodating to assist with any of our requirements. There is no doubt that moving to Riverstone Business Park has been a fantastic decision for our company allowing us grow and develop our business for the years ahead.
Great place to be!!
We at Pickles find the Management team really easy to deal with. Our business involves moving around a lot of cars and we are being assisted greatly by the Management Team. This is our second stint at the Business Park primarily because of the ‘can do’ attitude shown by the Management team. They listen and want to understand your business so they can offer you their very best solution.
Our relationship with our tenants is massively important to us, customising their storage requirements as precisely as we can.
